we seem to be having a fair few of the "I want to be a hackman" style posts here in introand I just thought it might serve a purpose if I posted a little bit of detail of what we will accept, and how to go about earning the right to ask the membership for info on just that matter

we DO have all sorts of users herewe DO have users here who are adept in their chosen fieldwe DO have members who are pen testersand others who dabble in the smoky artsbut YOU have to add viable useful content TO the site first before you can even think of any form of advancement

write some tutorials on how to use xyz softwaredoesn't have to be thesis qualitybut we can then determine if you actualy ARE seriousand are actually gonna hang around here too

remember, it is a 2 way thinggive AND take

you could start by adding a post in the relevant section, giving an overview of what you already have, what you do on a daily basisnot exact details, just an overviewand how you hope to progress in your chosen career

if you are NOT English speaking, we don't care how it looks, just so long as we can make sense of itor if you prefer, we DO have a non-english section within the tutorial part of the forum HERE

and if pen testing [think of pen testing as legal hacking [sorry Harry ] IS the way you wish to proceed along, then you may find THIS useful

you also may want to check out C|EH - Certified Ethical Hacker - you need this cert to work as Pen Tester. And if you have it revoked due to doing - for want of a better term - private work then you also lose your job ..................

Most don't know the true meaning of hacker. If you get a bad hair cut it is called a hack job, the barber is a hacker. Back in the day everything was new, so we hacked at it until we figured it out or failed and tried again, breaking it, rebuilding it and trying again, we hacked at it, it had to do with the method of learning by trial and error, not the wanna be's of today of script kiddies and rip offs. Get a clue, have passion, drive and desire for what you do, don't expect someone to teach you that.

There are two rules for success in life: Rule 1: Don't tell people everything you know.
